problem with the west gate remaining open. The control box or the
phone box seem to be the source of the problem. The heavy rains have
tripped the Christmas lights circuit breaker.

LANDSCAPE:
Hank Glieden and Gerald Vigoren attended a Sustainable Water
Management Practices seminar recently and found it somewhat
informative. The speakers suggested checking the drip systems
carefully because they usually need to be replaced/repaired every
ten years. Dave Morales will check ours.

A tree lost to frost damage near the west gate will be
replaced. Some damage from last winter’s frost was noted on the
north gates and will need to be repaired.

ARC/COMPLIANCE:John Scarlott reported receiving several complaints about
cars and golf carts being parked in the driveways or on the streets
for extended periods of time.

OLD BUSINESS:

1. Sunshine Committee: It was determined the newly formed
committee will be part of the Social Committee which has Board
approved funding in the budget.

2. Gate Beautification Project: Hank Glieden gave an update
on the project proposed at the October meeting. Several bids have
been received on the “wish list” items and he is hoping to have all
the details available by the January 19th Board Meeting.

about the 2007 Board of Directors’ position to maintain reserves to

lending institutes. The current Board has continued to utilize all
available funds to meet future costs such as gates, streets, erosion
control, landscaping ,curbs, sidewalks, disaster, litigation, etc.

Properties Reserve Fund.

another two-year term.

VICE-PRESIDENT’S REPORT: Gloria Combs announced the Green Valley Councils’ (GVC) “Beat
Buffelgrass Committee” will have a training session on Friday,
December 16th at 10 AM at their Green Valley Village Mall
office. The meeting will be a twenty minute presentation on

December and January and a saguaro cactus will be awarded to the HOA
accumulating the most points. All Links members are encouraged to
attend.

SECRETARY’S REPORT: Pat Vincent will email information about the need for volunteers
including the job descriptions for each board member as we begin
recruiting for the 2012 Board of Directors.

The December 15th meeting will be held at the East

January 25, 2012, at the Springs Anza Room. All of the 2012 board
meetings are currently scheduled to be held at the Abrego North GVR

rooms are reserved in February but due to the repairs/remodeling at
the Abrego South Center and the Springs, our meetings had to be
moved to several locations this year.

LEGAL AFFAIRS:
Tom Sparby had nothing to report this month.

light near the Perkins residence. The electronic sensor was replaced
on a gate light and an electrician will be called to check and

Management Practices seminar and make a report next month.

ARC/COMPLIANCE:John Scarlott was absent.

NEW BUSINESS: Questions were raised about the “Links Sunshine Committee”, and two
bills for flower purchases have been submitted to the Treasurer. It
does not appear the Sunshine Committee is a part of the Social
Committee which has a $250 annual budget. Because the President of
the association is the only authorized member to appoint an HOA
committee, Harry will speak to Pat Bishop to get more details. Ed
suggested the Social Committee be given their money at the beginning
of each year and they do their own accounting of the funds to
simplify the Treasurer’s duties.

OLD BUSINESS: Hank Glieden gave a report on the “Gate Beautification” project
proposed at the October meeting. Dave Morales has presented a
proposal of his plans for the plantings at the entrances. (Dave did
the landscaping at the Sunrise Point Vistas entrances the members
used as examples in their presentation to the Board last month.)

has suggested using. Hank is getting estimates on the “wish list”
our members have suggested. Additional information on the proposed
project will be provided as it becomes available.

plans and suggested railings and gates be painted for a more
appealing appearance. They handed out their written suggestions and

way a reflection on our landscaper Dave Morales or our landscaping
committee.Jane Perkins

raise them more than 5% without a vote of the full membership.After some discussion, dues will remain the same and the 2012
Annual Budget (which is
approximately the same amount as 2011) was accepted. Copies will be

closed for about three weeks beginning October 24th while
replacement/repairs are being made.

VICE-PRESIDENT’S REPORT: Harry read a written report submitted by Gloria Combs regarding the
Green Valley Councils’ (GVC) Environmental Seminar on Buffelgrass
eradication she recently attended. She has volunteered to work with
GVC committee chairman Dick Dempsey and ten others on this project
to remove the invasive plant from our community. The responsibility
to identify and remove the weed is the responsibility of each HOA.
GVC suggested the Landscaping Committee chair of each HOA become the
contact person for this project. Additional information will be
provided soon. Gloria also thanked the HOA for the flowers and card
Pat Bishop had delivered to her from the “Sunshine Committee” when
she was ill.

the Christmas lights and a drop cord will be used for the west gate.

in the common areas as well as a pack rat problem in one of the fan
palms. He has identified an area of buffelgrass near the park area

said he is concernedthe
drip system in the commons areas may not be working properly. The

applying for the tax-exempt non-profit status.

PHYSICAL PLANT: Norbert Bisek reported the street cracks were repaired with very
little disruption. He attended the GVC Paving Seminar in March which

costs which are certain to increase each year. Our association
continues to fund our reserves for the expenses we will have when
repaving needs to be done.

replace a dead cactus at the east gate. The landscaper will add
gravel to the common’s area behind a Fade Drive residence that has
experienced some erosion. The estimated cost for materials is $150.
Because some of the freeze-damaged plants may still be salvageable,
it may take some time before our common areas (and our yards) look
as nice as usual.

ARC/COMPLIANCE:
John Scarlott asked for clarification about the exterior paint color
guide. Paint color formulas and names have changed over the years.
All Links HOA members will be encouraged to use the “Good Neighbor
Policy” in regard to overgrown and shedding trees and nuisance
noises, etc.

discussion, the board agreement the service we now receive is
satisfactory.

SECRETARY’S REPORT: Pat
Vincent suggested “Job Descriptions” were needed for each committee
in order to help recruit new volunteers. Each committee coordinator
will be asked to submit a brief description of their committee.

The committee assignments were clarified and the
new 2011 Contact List will be made available on the Links web site
and emailed to members. Tom Sullivan will not serve as a board
member and will sit on the ARC. Robert Jacobs, Judy Miller and
Gerald Vigoren will serve on Landscaping.

Because the majority of HOA information is now
being sent by e-mail and is available on the Links web site, a
newsletter was discussed and determined to be unnecessary at this
time. The past publications will be “archived” with much thanks to
Barbara Servatka.

Newslinks newsletter.

homeowner’s request. The cost of removing frost-damaged cacti and

painting and an outdoor fireplace.

OLD BUSINESS:

Copies of the revised ARC Request Forms and

Links HOA Guidelines and e-mailed to members and posted on the web
site (wwwthelinkshoa.org).

The placement of a satellite dish without ARC
approval was discussed. Tom Sparby will contact the member. As
required in the Links CC&R’s and Guidelines, all HOA members must
submit an ARC Request Form prior to making any changes to the

cactus, tree, shrub, without ARC notification, as long as it is
